2007 USA Baseball Darwin Barney

I'm in a bit of a lull between Topps releases that I collect, so I've been using the time to fill in some holes in my Darwin Barney player collection. Barney was a member of the 2006 USA baseball team that won the University Games and was included in their 2006-2007 product.

The problem I've had with this product is the number of parallel cards. Accoding to Beckett, there are 17 different cards for Barney in the set:

Of the 17, I've got five (they're the ones in bold). You can also see all the different parallels they've got for the signature cards. I'm content to just have one of the versions, I don't need a rainbow with these.

If you narrow the cards down to different designs, there are seven and I've got five of the seven., I'm missing the In His Own Words signature card and the Patriotic Patches.Both have only 20 copies out there, so I'm not too sure about seeing them any time soon. I've got an ebay search saved, and if anything pops up, I'll be in the hunt.

Here are the five cards I've got, in the same order as the bold cards in the list

About Me

I am a life-long Cubs fan currently in exile in southern Michigan. I have been collecting baseball cards since the fateful Cubs year of 1969. I took a 15 year break from the hobby and returned in 2008.
